few weeks ago, when she was paralyzed on
the right side, since which time she has been
in very helpless condition. She is now i'm
proving about as fast as can be expected.
On Monday evening last, the 9th inst, as
Mr.. VIM. +. Myers, huckster, of this place,
was returning home from gathering his load,
he crossed the bridge which spans Big Pipe
Greek, near Mr.. John Leister's. When he got
to, or near the center of the bridge, it broke,
smashing every spoke in one of the front
wheels in his wagon, which had just been
newly fitted up, and was making his first trip
with it. Fortunately, however, Mr.. Myers
did not have as much egg nog as he anticipa-
ted, as there were less eggs broken than he
expected; and strange to say neither him nor
his horses sustained any serious injuries,
outside of few severe bruises.

The library and Reading Room.

On Wednesday evening large meeting of
ladies and gentlemen was held in Carroll
Hall TO further the Library and Reading Room
project. Reports from the various commit
tees we're received. DIR. Chas. Billingslea re-
ported that the use of Carroll Hall for meet
ings had been granted, and that it was prob
able the room might be obtained for the use
of the association on the payment of reas-
enable rental Mr.. Henry Vanderford, COM
mittee on charter, stated it was necessary to
have directors elected before a charter could
be obtained. Mrs. George NJ. Parke and
Miss Mary Thayer reported that about $40
had been subscribed in money, besides con-
tributions of books, magazines and papers
After further discussion of plans, the follow
ing were elected rs Directors: Mrs. p. H.
Irwin, Miss Mary Thayer, Miss Joe. Beaver,
Mrs. E. o. Grimes, Miss Lizzie Herr, DR..
Charles Billingslea and Hon. Frank I. Shaw.
Mr.. Vanderford was requested to have the
charter prepared, and that the name be Scar
roll Library and Free Reading Room" Miss
Mary Thayer and Mrs. John C. Frizell were
appointed committee on constitution and
bylaws. The meeting adjourned to meet at
Carroll Hall on Wednesday afternoon next
at o'clock.
Every citizen is interested in this work, and
it is hoped that at the next meeting there will
be large attendance. Westminster, while
ahead of many other towns in the state, is
behind some in so far as library and reading
room are concerned. The ladies and gentle
men who have taken the initiative in this
matter have done so for the benefit of the
young ladies and gentlemen of the county,
the intention being not TO confne the men,
bership of the association to Westminster,
but to let its good influence extend through
out the county.

The patent of Or. E. d. Wells for electric
railway signal is very comprehensive one,
and under it he has constructed a model OF a
danger signal for railroad crossings. By this
contrivance, the signal, when train is within
a certain distance of a crossing, indicates
danger, and bell rings in the signal to attract
the attention of travellers. The owners of the
patent are contemplating the erection of
danger signals at the railroad crossings near
Orndorff's mill. If they should do so it will
be so arranged that the signal bell will ring at
the crossings from the time the train leaves
Westminster and continue until it shall have
passed the crossing. All the models will be
exhibited at the Grand Union Hotel in New
York on Tuesday, the 24th, to the represen-
tatives of the trunk lines centering there.
